Item Borrowing Patterns Monitoring in Library: Application of Apriori algorithm.(Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin., 2015) Adewole, Kayode S.; Akintola, Abimbola G; Mabayoje, Modinat A.; Ogbomon, G. A.Data is a valuable tool for any institution, and with the world advancing in technology, data stored in database management systems are growing in different capacities in almost all organization. The opportunities of database management systems have been explored. However, many organizations have not been able to leverage these opportunities in gaining business intelligence from their repositories. This paper addresses the issue of knowledge discovery from large databases using association rule mining. Apriori algorithm is implemented to discover hidden knowledge from a library database. Data depicting nine (9) different books were used within forty-seven (47) unique transactions. Eighteen (18) unique transactions were generated from the database showing the borrowing pattern of library users. The frequencies of borrowing of books were obtained as well as the associations. The result shows that borrowing a particular book may leads to borrowing another book as revealed in the association between Data structure in C (DS) textbook and Programming in C (C) textbook. The discovered pattern can help librarians in restructuring their bookshelf arrangement, and for book recommendation system. This system can also help students to have good knowledge different related books.Item Evaluation of an Optical Character Recognition Model For Yoruba Text(Tibiscus University, 2019-01) Akintola, Abimbola G; Ibiyemi, Tunji S; Bajeh, Amos OThe optical character recognition (OCR) for different languages has been developed and in use with diverse applications over the years. The development of OCR enables the digitization of paper document that would have been neglected over a period of time as well as serving as a form of backup for those documents. The system proposed is for isolated characters of Yoruba language. Yoruba language is a tonal language that carries accent on the vowel alphabets. The process used involves image gray scal, binarization, de-skew, and segmentation. Thus, the OCR enable the system read the images and convert them to text data. The proposed model was evaluated using the information retrieval metrics: Precision and Recall. Results showed a significant performance with a recall of 100% in the sample document used, and precision results that varies between 76%, 97%, and 100% in the sample document.The optical character recognition (OCR) for different languages has been developed and in use with diverse applications over the years.
